Sea Trout Fishing on the River Nith
The Nith is the largest, and arguably the
most productive and varied, of the Solway rivers. It offers
excellent salmon and sea trout sport for anglers of all
abilities and experience. Much of the fishing is available
to visiting anglers on a day or weekly basis on Estate beats
such as Drumlanrig Castle, Barjarg, Blackwood and Dalswinton;
Association beats like the Upper Nithsdale Angling
Association at Sanquhar, the Mid Nithsdale Angling
Association at Thornhill (now run by Drumlanrig estate) and Dumfries and Galloway Angling
Association at Carnsalloch, near Dumfries; Hotel water such
as Friars Carse; and Burgh Fishing at Dumfries.

Sea Trout Fishing on the River Nith
The River Nith has some excellent sea trout fishing, with a
good year now producing around 2000 sea trout, although there has
been a worrying decline in sea trout catches in recent seasons. The
Nith can also produce in excess of 2000 salmon, with the season, as
on the Tweed, running to the end of November. See also:
